The Dan Bongino Show – "Enemies to the Right" (Ep. 2478)

Date: March 23, 2026
Host: Dan Bongino
Podcast Network: Cumulus Podcast Network

---

Overview

Main Theme:
Bongino delivers a fiery episode focused on perceived internal sabotage within the MAGA/conservative movement. He argues that a group of self-interested infiltrators—posing as allies—are actively working to fracture and derail the pro-Trump coalition. The show attacks specific figures (notably Joe Kent, Igor, and Michael Flynn Jr.), accuses them of disinformation and self-serving grifting, and warns of psychological manipulation and hidden agendas. Bongino underscores the need for unity against both these "enemies to the right" and traditional opponents on the left.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Infiltration & Sabotage from Within

• Event Recap: Bongino recounts being at a local MAGA event (Martin County Republican Club, FL) where a trio (Igor, "Ogre," and a third individual) disrupted proceedings, hurling slurs and being confrontational (04:40–13:08).
  • "They had a group of them show up... calling people, forgive me for the language, folks in the show. But screaming and cussing. Calling people, by the way, not just me and others, calling attendees, as in faggots." [07:10]
• Gatekeeper Narrative:
  • Bongino describes a "gatekeeper" psyop: certain actors claim hidden knowledge and circulate doubt about Trump by alleging he’s surrounded by handlers who restrict his access to information.
    • "They want the Trump vote, but they don't want the Trump with it... So in order to get the Trump vote without Trump in it, they have to attack Donald Trump's record without attacking Donald Trump." [06:30]
  • He accuses people like Joe Kent and Candace Owens of employing this tactic.
• Warning to the Movement:
  • "This is not infighting. These people are not in our club. They're trying to destroy our club." [07:10]

2. Psyops and Manipulation Techniques

• Psychological Manipulation Explained:
  • Bongino plays a clip (16:29) from "Diary of a CEO" on how manipulators implant two separate facts and let audiences "connect the dots" themselves, making them feel clever—but ultimately manipulated.
    • “So all I have to do is make you have an idea... any idea that you think came from your own mind, you have no ability to resist it.” – [Unknown Expert, 16:39]
  • He connects this method to how "doomer" influencers mislead the right by insinuating hidden, sinister motives or facts without proof.

3. Joe Kent & Allegations of Disinformation

• Specific Criticism:
  • Bongino accuses Joe Kent of spreading falsehoods about Iran’s nuclear threat status and about Trump’s actions in office (28:00–32:49, 37:10–43:10).
    • “He's totally, completely making this up to just jam it right in President Trump's face.” [28:25]
• Trump’s Response:
  • Trump, in a recent answer, calls out Kent’s claims, labels him ungrateful for past support, and reaffirms that Iran has been a threat for decades (31:51).
    • “He loses twice in Congress, ran not very good campaigns, should have won, but he loses twice... He said very strongly that Iran is not a threat. Iran's been a threat for 47 years, and there’s not a country in the world that doesn’t agree with me on that.” – [Donald Trump, 32:49]

4. Conspiracies and Grifting

• Ties to Others:
  • Bongino accuses Michael Flynn Jr. and Igor of seeking attention and grifting, and notes how the left (Washington Post, John Brennan) suddenly praise Kent when he opposes Trump.
• Antisemitism Warning:
  • Bongino claims a subset of these infiltrators are driven by bigotry, especially antisemitism.
    • “There's a concentrated interest of people who really just hate the Jews... If they find you to be a useful idiot... they will make you a hero.” [25:01]
• The “Grift Virus”:
  • “Once the Grift virus infects your mind, there’s no saving you.” [26:39]

5. Battle for Movement’s Soul

• Warning Against Cannibalism:
  • Bongino warns that division will only empower the left, referencing prior examples (defund the police movement’s electoral cost, etc.).
    • "You want to destroy the right like the left destroyed the left with men's penises in the bathroom? Defund the police... We have the House, the Senate and the White House. Then continue down this path. It's the Dambongino cannibalism theory." [64:22]
• Unity vs. Grifters:
  • Praises activists and supporters fighting “bots,” “grifters,” and alleged disruptors.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Infiltrators and Disruption:
  • "I'm really getting tired of the bullshit from other people who, when we go out there to advance the cause... they're like, no, no, no, we didn’t ask for this fight. We should, everybody should just calm down. No, no, maybe we would calm down if you would stop being a bunch more of black pill doomer shitheads." (00:33)
• On the Gatekeeper Psyop:
  • "They never ever tell you what it is. You know, can I go a little out of order guy? ... This is how they do." (15:16)
• On Joe Kent:
  • "Joe's a liar. That is factually incorrect. Joe's full of shit. Joe's just making that up." (30:22)
  • “You believe President Trump, who has access to every piece of intel in the government he wants... or do you believe Flynn and Flynn’s kid and Igor and Ken? It’s up to you.” (31:51)
• On Grifting:
  • “And once they get used to the grift, it changes people. It’s what changed Joe Kent.” (24:47)
  • "Once the Grift virus infects your mind, there's no saving you." (26:39)
• On Unity and Warnings:
  • “We have to walk and juggle chainsaws at the same time... The walk is the fight we've always had against the collectivist left trying to take away our freedoms... This new fight is this infection that comes up in this party every 10 years or so.” (61:05)
• On Why the Left Suddenly Praises Kent:
  • “So weird right away. It’s almost like this was an op the whole time.” (27:32)
  • “Joe Kent, who resigned from the National Counterterrorism center in protest of the Iran war, says he’s making his case to fellow conservatives through a series of interviews with podcasters popular among President Trump’s political base. The same podcasters they've been shitting on for the last 10 plus years. Now all of a sudden, they're heroes to them. You see how the grift works? Yeah, you're damn right we're going to call it out.” (36:44)
• On Gas Prices & Media Hypocrisy:
  • “When Biden was in office, CNN reported Americans blamed Biden for record prices at the pump. Biden had relatively little control over the prices set primarily by global markets. In 2025, CNN reported gasoline prices are coming down and President Trump is happy to take credit for that.” (55:27)

Analysis & Host’s Tone

Bongino’s tone is unapologetic, combative, and at times, caustic. He lays out a strict “us vs. them” worldview, where the MAGA movement faces existential threats both from the established left and from internal saboteurs who, he argues, are more dangerous due to their plausible affiliations and hidden animosity. Throughout the episode, Bongino repeats core talking points:

• Pick your team—be wary of grifters, don’t be seduced by secret knowledge claims or vague accusations.
• Trust, but verify—believe data and receipts, not insinuations.
• Unity needed—fracturing the right only empowers the left and enables policy failures contrary to MAGA goals.

---

Conclusion

Dan Bongino urges listeners to reject infiltrators, guard against manipulation, and rally around proven values and figures, especially Trump. He urges skepticism toward “newcomers” and “black-pilled doomers,” warning that falling for their divisive narratives risks a return to left-wing dominance and lost freedoms.

Key takeaway:
There are “enemies to the right” who not only disrupt events but push divisive, manipulative narratives intended to corrupt, fracture, and ultimately defeat the MAGA/conservative movement from within. Bongino implores his audience to call out these actors, maintain unity, and “cut this cancer out” before it destroys what they’ve built.

Transcript

[Dan Bongino]

All America, all the time.

Sit down, buckle up and get ready for the Dan Bongino show. Donald Trump just concluded taking some questions. One of them he absolutely filleted Joe Kent, who he was kind enough to give a job, to give him an opportunity to serve the American people again. And he just absolutely blew it, turned on him and started becoming a serial fabricator.

[Guy Benson]

So yes, we do have enemies to the right.

[Dan Bongino]

And I'm really getting tired of the

[Guy Benson]

bullshit from other people who, when we

[Dan Bongino]

go out there to advance the cause, 10, 10 and 10 win elections, get people in there who can actually do and accomplish things. And then when we accomplish things and people who sit on the sidelines with their cranks in their hands doing absolutely nothing, complaining that everything happened, they're like,

[Guy Benson]

no, no, no, we didn't ask for this fight. We should, everybody should just calm down. No, no, maybe we would calm down if you would stop being a bunch more of black pill doomer shitheads constantly trying to infiltrate, take over and infect

[Dan Bongino]

our movement with your stupid mind virus of idiocy.

[Guy Benson]

Welcome to the show on a Monday.

[Dan Bongino]

It's been a fascinating weekend, folks. Lot happened this weekend. I'm going to go into all of it and I'm going to show you exactly how these people work, how they know each other.

[Guy Benson]

You know, everybody wants to be a,

[Dan Bongino]

you know, a rock star until the

[Guy Benson]

camera gets turned the other direction and then they start whining and griping and bitching and moaning like a bunch of little girls. Oh my gosh, I can't believe it. The cameras got turned on me as

[Dan Bongino]

if we didn't know you were there.

[Guy Benson]

You know, they get a little weird

[Dan Bongino]

how there are like four or five different exits and we walked out of that. You know, that's I don't know

[Guy Benson]

folks,

[Dan Bongino]

lot to talk about. I've been warning you about this cancer repeatedly and now you know.

[Guy Benson]

Today's show brought to you by.

[Dan Bongino]

We needed some of that Monday morning blackout coffee.

[Guy Benson]

Here it is, official Bongino army blend.

[Dan Bongino]

Look at even said Bongino army on there for you. Love blackout coffee. Drink it every day. Have two, sometimes three cups a day because it's really good. It's bold, never bitter. I like coffee that tastes like coffee, not brown water. That's why we go with blackout coffee. We love it, love the stuff. The Bongino army roast is terrific. Went through a couple different versions here. This is the one I think is the best. I absolutely love the taste of this dark roast, extra caffeinated. We built this together called Blackout Coffee the official coffee. The Bongino army for a long time. Because it is now. We made it official with our own collaboration. Roast medium dark roasted for bold flavor and heavy body. Amped with extra caffeine. Strong without being bitter. Give it a shot. It's powerful without compromise. Even redesigned the bag for me. Right here on the valve it says

[Guy Benson]

sniff at your own risk because it

[Dan Bongino]

smells like good coffee too. That'll wake you up in the morning. I drink this coffee every day. I don't put my name on anything. I don't believe in this stuff delivers, period. Don't forget their coffee club. Fresh roasted coffee shipped on your schedule. Free shipping every time. You can skip or school or swap anytime in seconds. It just makes the ordering process easier. So go to blackout coffee.com bongino use

[Guy Benson]

code bongino for 20% off your first order.

[Dan Bongino]

That's blackout coff coffee.com bongino code bongino pick up a bag, squeeze it. Ah, there you go. Some coffee for you in the morning. A beautiful coffee smell. Is there anything better? You know what? Coffee tastes extra better, by the way, on a Sunday morning. Don't ask me why. I don't know. All right, fellas, let's go. So I go out this weekend. You know, there's a Republican club in the area. And because I'm an activist at heart and always have been, you know, run for office, have raised money for candidates, showed up at fundraisers, and by the way, I prefer activism that's local.

[Guy Benson]

We have a lot of candidates on

[Dan Bongino]

this show because it's an international show. So we'll have a lot of candidates running for office that are not local to me. I live in South Florida because it's a national audience, but my own personal Dan Bongino activist life is obviously focused on the localized community. You know, I always like that Jordan Peterson line. You know, make your own bed first, right?

[Guy Benson]

If you can't clean up and fix

[Dan Bongino]

your local community, you're not going to have much impact nationally.

[Guy Benson]

So I do a lot of fundraising

[Dan Bongino]

activities and a lot of charity work for the local community down here. And one of the groups I speak at probably every other year is the Martin County Republican Club. Martin County's in South Florida. We just go and do it because it's the right thing to do. It helps them sell tickets.

[Guy Benson]

So we agreed to go out this weekend.

[Dan Bongino]

And by the way, this is a probably one of the most MAGA oriented clubs anywhere in the country. I think outside the Martin County GOP is about as mag as MAGA gets.

[Guy Benson]

Their office isn't very far from here

[Dan Bongino]

and there's Donald Trump stuff everywhere. They were one of the first people to come out for him. Matter of fact, South Florida is a hotbed of Donald Trump activism. They have a club down here, Club 47. It's the biggest MAGA club in the country. I speak there often as well. They get thousands of people. What's my point? The event I was at this weekend was a MAGA event.

[Guy Benson]

Something we should celebrate, right?

[Dan Bongino]

People showing up together to collectively discuss the issues du jour, what matters, how

[Guy Benson]

we're going to win the midterms, raising money because it's sadly but true, the

[Dan Bongino]

mother's milk of politics. You've got to pay for TV ads and things like that.

[Guy Benson]

You would think this would be an

[Dan Bongino]

event where we would all collectively embrace on correct. Not if you're the cancerous rod. Leftists again, leftists, secreting yourselves inside our movement, trying to fracture it.

[Guy Benson]

So in case you missed it, folks,

[Dan Bongino]

this weekend I've been telling you about the gatekeeper narrative. How there are a group of people infiltrating the right, pretending to be one of us that want to destroy this movement. Why? We have to be very clear on this.

[Guy Benson]

Listen to me. Listen.

[Dan Bongino]

Very good. They don't want the Donald Trump lineage to continue. They don't want Don Jr. To run. They don't want Eric to run. They don't want JD to run. They don't want Rubio to run. They don't want that lineage.

[Guy Benson]

They have their own idea of what

[Dan Bongino]

this movement looks like.

[Guy Benson]

They openly talk about it, by the

[Dan Bongino]

way, because fiery speeches about what it would look like if Donald Trump was assassinated.

[Guy Benson]

This is not a secret. They talk about it all the time. They want the Trump vote, but they don't want the Trump with it.

[Dan Bongino]

Do you get it?

[Guy Benson]

Trump vote, no Trump. That's what they want. So in order to get the Trump vote without Trump in it, they have

[Dan Bongino]

to attack Donald Trump's record without attacking Donald Trump.

[Guy Benson]

So what do they do? They do this not so clever, stupid

[Dan Bongino]

technique that there's a bunch of gatekeepers around Donald Trump.

[Guy Benson]

He's really a dumb, stupid guy and a bunch of people are keeping information from him.

[Dan Bongino]

And that's why this administration sucks and that's why we're doomers so bad.

[Guy Benson]

But they don't attack him because they

[Dan Bongino]

want the Trump vote without the Trump. So that's what they do. They try to attack him without attacking him.

[Guy Benson]

I brought this up multiple times because you got these guys who are really on our team who are too dumb to see what's going on, who continue with this. Hey, we can't do this infighting. It's not infighting. These people are not in our club. They're trying to destroy our club. They show up at MAGA clubs and cause chaos. They had a group of them show up this weekend after this event, calling people, forgive me for the language, folks in the show. But screaming and cussing. Calling people, by the way, not just me and others, calling attendees, as in faggots. And they. These are guys telling you they're part of your crew. This actually happened. So because they were too stupid to even be semi cryptic about what their

[Dan Bongino]

agenda was, we walked right by him to see what they got.

[Guy Benson]

But before we did, we got a little photo.

[Dan Bongino]

A couple of people took photos of these goons.

[Guy Benson]

I don't know.

[Dan Bongino]

I only know one of the goons, so. No, no, not. Not that one, guys. That. That one. That's not the picture. That's it. That does look like them. But no, no, no, not that. That's the.

[Guy Benson]

No, that's.

[Dan Bongino]

Is that. Wait, Andy, say. That's not the real one.

[Guy Benson]

That's not them either. That was.

[Dan Bongino]

This is.

[Guy Benson]

That's Guy's personal favorite. So here were these three, of course. Oh, look at this. No, you liked it.

[Dan Bongino]

You wanted to throw that one.

[Guy Benson]

If you're missing this on Apple and

[Dan Bongino]

Spotify, here's the classic.

[Guy Benson]

By the way, we did not do these.

[Dan Bongino]

These are just, of course, members of the Bongino Army.

[Guy Benson]

This is Guy's personal favorite.

[Dan Bongino]

There they are in stormtrooper costumes. Two with their helmets on. Igor took his helmet off with his bald, goofy mutt looking face. That's Gee's video of the day. Even though it's not a video. We'll call him Photos of the day right there. So this was the actual real picture. By the way, that shirt is just a little too tight there. Igor, what's going on there with that shirt? You trying to like show nipple or something like that? What's going on with that, buddy?

[Guy Benson]

Oh, Nicole Wallace gives Igor a ten look at Igor. He looks confused. At the Hutchinson River Shores Hotel, where

[Dan Bongino]

he was not invited by at a mag event.

[Guy Benson]

He's got Ogre in the back.

[Dan Bongino]

I don't know who that is or I don't care to.

[Guy Benson]

Ogre was as dumb as a box

[Dan Bongino]

of rocks, by the way.

[Guy Benson]

And then he's got this little person

[Dan Bongino]

who's got some disability, so I feel bad for him.

[Guy Benson]

Who was screaming and yelling. That little Person. You see the guy in blue? He was calling people faggots.

[Dan Bongino]

Yeah, at the mag event.

[Guy Benson]

This guy, you know this guy?

[Dan Bongino]

Yeah, I don't know him, folks. I never met this guy in my life.

[Guy Benson]

He seemed awfully angry, though. It's strange. He seemed awfully angry.

[Dan Bongino]

Igor's buddy.

[Guy Benson]

So they showed up screaming at a bunch of MAGA people. But remember his infighting for all those people. No enemies to the right. They were not invited.

[Dan Bongino]

Nobody asked them to come to the event.

[Guy Benson]

I'm not even sure they bought a

[Dan Bongino]

ticket to the event.

[Guy Benson]

And they decided it'd be a good

[Dan Bongino]

idea to start screaming and yelling like lunatics. Never thinking, of course, we would come on the air on Monday and show the whole world who they were in various forms of dress all weekend. Here's Igor. Bald headed goofball. By the way, Igor, do your parents tell. Tell everyone they have no living children looking like you? Really? I mean, listen, man, I get it. I don't claim to have a face for podcasts. That's why I enjoyed radio. But my gosh, if you had that Uncle Fester look, I would go hide your mommy and daddy look.

[Guy Benson]

Like that.

[Dan Bongino]

That's Daddy look. That daddy look. Igor. So Igor got quite upset when we actually started reposting as they became a mockery all weekend on meme. Hey, Linsky's rules, fellas. Ridicule. It's really potent. He didn't like it. Igor. So Igor went on some crazy man's podcast. Another loser.

[Guy Benson]

And they went on whining, oh, he's a free citizen.

[Dan Bongino]

Yeah, I know, I know. Here's Igor complaining on infowars about how he got nailed to the wall this weekend looking like a tool with his nipple shirt. Check this out, citizen. He's making memes jokes. But what's the ultimate goal of doing this? Or the imp to try to stop

[Guy Benson]

anybody else from doing it?

[Dan Bongino]

I mean, is he trying to intimidate me? I don't think that works. Okay, and number two, while it's funny

[John Brennan]

we can laugh and chuckle about, lowers

[Dan Bongino]

the IQ level of the conversation that we're trying to have. The discussion is, do we want a country that's America first or America second,

[John Brennan]

or do we want a country that's

[Dan Bongino]

America tied for first? So there's Igor with his nipple shirt there in the screen there, whining and bitching and moaning like a little girl.

[Guy Benson]

Mommy and daddy put you up there.

[Dan Bongino]

Daddy look. Got a daddy. There's Igor then bitching and moaning. By the way, Igor is at the event.

[Guy Benson]

Igor Was there.

[Dan Bongino]

Igor didn't have the balls to say anything. Igor just sat there.

[Guy Benson]

Igor tried to shake my hand. Hey, buddy. Hey. And Igor got humiliated, by the way.

[Dan Bongino]

When Igor and his two goons screaming faggot at everybody.

[Guy Benson]

When Igor and his goons got tossed out of the event, I got a call later from some people who witnessed it. Said they were, like, crying. Said they were like, these three tough guys who show up while I'm with

[Dan Bongino]

my wife at a mag event, by the way, calling people faggots. Their words. I'm sorry I even have to repeat this, but you can listen to that stuff yourself. They were proud enough to be like, look at this.

[Guy Benson]

We got this all on video. Yeah, you did.

[Dan Bongino]

You did. You got it on video. It didn't work out like you planned, though, did it?

[Guy Benson]

I heard they were, like, crying and whining, sorry, man.

[Dan Bongino]

We didn't.

Really?

[Guy Benson]

Really tough guys. Ogre, six foot four, fat slob, little person.

[Dan Bongino]

And Igor

[Guy Benson]

took three of you to go to an event to call a bunch of MAGA people faggots?

[Dan Bongino]

Really? That's your let's get people elected, America first.

[Guy Benson]

And I love how Igor says, we just wanted to raise the discourse. You did. By calling people faggots, Screaming at them in the lobby. I don't recall anyone asking us at

[Dan Bongino]

the event to come in and ask a question or anything like that. Folks, I'm serious about this. Now, obviously, these three goons now look like idiots. There's a cancer pretending to be part of our movement you cannot avoid. I'm really getting sick of a lot of these conservative again influencers who never did shit.

[Guy Benson]

These guys, they popped up on the scene.

[Dan Bongino]

Some of them in the last three,

[Guy Benson]

four years, never done a damn thing,

[Dan Bongino]

put their name on a ballot, never agreed to serve. They're out there like, oh, we got to stop the podcast wars.

[Guy Benson]

This is not. This is a unit. This is an asymmetric, unilateral war by a group of people who secreted themselves into this content creation ecosystem and pretended to be part of our unit while they're trying to destroy it. And you want everyone to just sit back? Levin, Shapiro, and others who are trying to warn you, who've been through this before, you want us just to sit back and let the whole entire thing explode?

[Dan Bongino]

I'm not doing that, man. I'm not doing it. I've already told you. I am really proud that we have the biggest show out there. I'm proud of it. Fact that we get millions of views on our channel a week. I wasn't even in last week we got 4 million views, folks.

[Guy Benson]

That's not a pat on the back,

[Dan Bongino]

that's just a fact. Against all the other people who want

[Guy Benson]

you to believe you're alone.

[Dan Bongino]

Oh, no one's listening to that.

[Guy Benson]

No, no one's listening to these idiots. They do these two things. You need to be hyper attentive to it whenever you hear the term from this network. Igor and his goofballs, the gatekeepers, and then they pretend they have hidden knowledge. They do these two things all the time. Trump is stupid. His people keeping information from him and

[Dan Bongino]

Trump's not smart enough to know it because they want the Trump vote without the Trump.

[Guy Benson]

And then second, this is super important. They pretend they have some hidden knowledge, but they never ever tell you what it is. You know, can I go a little

[Dan Bongino]

out of order guy? You ever see the very popular podcast Diary of a CEO? They invited us on, it was just on a topic. We couldn't. It was an immigration. We couldn't make it happen. So maybe in the future, whatever. It's a very popular podcast. You see the clips all over TikTok and elsewhere.

[Guy Benson]

This is how they do.

[Dan Bongino]

So you understand the gatekeeper component.

[Guy Benson]

Part number two is they have a piece of hidden knowledge.

[Dan Bongino]

Candace does this. Joe Kent's doing it now. Igor and his boys are doing it now.

[Guy Benson]

Trump is being gatekept from this hidden knowledge we have. But they never ever tell you what it is, ever. They never tell you who they think killed someone in a murder case. They're telling you suspicious. They don't say anything. All they do is they give you two data points totally unrelated, and they

[Dan Bongino]

let you make the connection. Here is this guest on Diary of a CEO. I saw this making the rounds this weekend explaining exactly how this class of

[Guy Benson]

enemies pretending to be part of us

[Dan Bongino]

are trying to create chaos without ever

[Guy Benson]

giving you any useful information.

[Dan Bongino]

Watch this and bookmark it. This is good stuff. Check this out. I heard you say something as well, that if you want to persuade other people, you should make them feel clever.

[Guy Benson]

Yeah.

[Dan Bongino]

Explain this to me.

[Unknown Expert]

I refer to this as maybe the most dangerous persuasion skill there is. And what I'm the ten second brief is I basically, I'm going to put a Lego right here on the table in front of you and I'm going to put another Lego right here on the table in front of you and I'm just going to keep having the conversation to where eventually your brain is going to be like, oh, I bet those things go together. So the idea came from You. So I'm going to give you one piece of information and another piece of information, but I will never put them together for you. And the reason is that any idea that you think came from your own mind, you have no ability to resist it. So all I have to do is make you have an idea. So a regular example of this is, let's say you're watching the news and they say local Austin woman has been reported missing. Neighbors said that earlier this day, people saw her arguing with her boyfriend. Oh, yeah, details after the break.

[Dan Bongino]

So, yeah.

[Unknown Expert]

And your brain is like, oh, I know what happened.

[Dan Bongino]

That may be the most important clip I think we've ever played on the show with regards to the silo of psychological manipulation.

[Guy Benson]

Ladies and gentlemen, you're being subjected to

[Dan Bongino]

a psychological operation, a psyop. It's not a conspiracy theory. It's them trying to create a conspiracy theory.

[Guy Benson]

It is absolutely true. They are using tried and true techniques of correlation without causation. Knowing your brain will fill in the pattern to make you believe that they have a series and set of hidden knowledge.

[Dan Bongino]

You don't have about Charlie Epstein. Something else.

[Guy Benson]

This is what they do. They don't give a damn about Epstein. One of their boys is in the damn files. You don't see them pop it in there.

[Dan Bongino]

They don't give a shit about the Epstein case.

[Guy Benson]

And if they gave a damn about Charlie and his family, they would stop trying to destroy a trial going on right now. I thought you believed in the constitution. Due process, a trial. They are using psychological weapons against you. Thankfully, I have an audience of people who are immune to this bullshit. They've seen it because who's tried to do it on them for the last 30, 40 years, depending on how old you are. My audience, the left, they're already immune to this bullshit. It's the newbies pretending to be part of our movement that are falling into this stuff. This doomer slop. Folks, your brain will create.

[Dan Bongino]

Go watch that clip again if you're watching on demand.

[Guy Benson]

Put the Lego here. Put the lego here. Why does your brain do that and say dogs won't do it as much?

[Dan Bongino]

Dogs will do pattern recognition, but not like we do.

[Guy Benson]

It's a survival mechanism. You ever see the movie Castaway with

[Dan Bongino]

Tom Hanks where he gets stranded on an island, plane crashes.

[Guy Benson]

You've seen the movie. And at night he's sleeping and he hears this. This thump sound. And his first instinct, despite the fact that there's nothing particularly perilous about the sound, is he thinks someone. He thinks Someone out there is watching him and it's danger. He's taken this Lego and created a danger. And what was it? It's coconuts falling from the tree wasn't dangerous at all. But this has kept human beings alive, filling in blanks. What you're seeing in the environment, how you brought your eyes and your ears and everything from your mouth and your tactile sense is stimulated, is not your perception of the world. The brain fills in blanks. That's what these people take in advance. Yes. Optical illusions do this all the time. Joe Kent, Candace and others.

[Dan Bongino]

Egyptian plane was there when Charlie was there. And you're like, they must be related.

[Guy Benson]

But notice how they never tell you how they make up all this. Folks, I'm going to show you the

[Dan Bongino]

links between these doomers right now. You want to around.

[Donald Trump]

All right.

[Dan Bongino]

You sure? Because I got a bigger microphone than all of you combined.

[Guy Benson]

Here's this. You know.

[Dan Bongino]

So all of a sudden I call out Joe Kent for lying to your face. Disparaging the president, by the way, while pretending not to. Because Gatekeeper theory.

[Guy Benson]

Remember the president just a few minutes

[Dan Bongino]

ago, if you got Justin, can you find. Just called him out plain side directly, telling you basically, this guy's full of crap. I showed you the guy's full of crap.

[Guy Benson]

There's email records proving he's full of crap. He's. And I'm going to document again how

[Dan Bongino]

he's full of crap.

[Guy Benson]

And all of a sudden these guys show up at a mag event calling people.

[Dan Bongino]

You get the point. Said it enough. Screaming like lunatics in the lobby, crying like little girls afterwards when they got tossed out.

[Guy Benson]

Here's a tweet by Joe Kent supporting

[Dan Bongino]

Igor back as Igor's buddy, Elon Musk. Can you please reinstate Igor so you can continue to provide constitutional legal analysis? Really?

[Guy Benson]

I showing up at a mag event

[Dan Bongino]

with his boys, one of them screaming, calling people faggots.

[Guy Benson]

That your boy, Joe?

[Dan Bongino]

It's kind of weird how I called you out for lying. You're a liar. You are. And all of a sudden I could prove you're a liar. I was there. I was there. I looked you in the face. You're a liar. And all of a sudden weird Igor shows up in his sombrero with ogre and little guy.

[Guy Benson]

And little guy seemed awfully agitated. Think he had a little ibs.

[Dan Bongino]

Maybe he ate a little something. Who knows? A sombrero. Maybe he had some Mexican. It didn't agree with him. Little too many spices there.

[Guy Benson]

Little guy seemed really upset. It's Weird.

[Dan Bongino]

You run around calling people strange. Here's Igor's buddy, Mike Flynn Jr. He was really. I guess he was upset. Badge of honor. Mike Flynn Jr. That's his boy. Did you guys know that Igor used to show up at CPAC and like a little dog. Like a dog. Although with that Igor face, I'm not sure a dog would want a face like that. My dog Lucy's a little cuter.

[Guy Benson]

However, Igor used to show up at

[Dan Bongino]

CPAC with his homie there, Mike Flinger.

[Guy Benson]

Mike Flint. Dan, didn't you defend his dad?

[Dan Bongino]

Yeah, I did. For a long time. His dad went through his unforgivable. And yet his son is part of some op after you served and they sat on the sideline. His son, who's done absolutely nothing but grift off daddy's name. The only thing his son brings to the table is the junior portion.

[Guy Benson]

That's your boy. You approve of that?

[Dan Bongino]

Showing up at a MAGA van?

[Guy Benson]

I thought you guys were trump people.

[Dan Bongino]

That's his buddy right there.

[Guy Benson]

He used to show up at cpac.

[Dan Bongino]

As a matter of fact, one of

[Guy Benson]

them took a selfie with, can I come on your show, Igor? Can I come on your show, please?

[Dan Bongino]

Like a dog, begging like a dog. Little Igor with his sombrero. He didn't bring his stormtroopers with him, though, back then, because he wanted me.

[Guy Benson]

He used to walk around CPAC like

[Dan Bongino]

a little dog, asking everyone to come on the show.

[Guy Benson]

You remember that, Igor? Can I come on your show? By the way, Igor, you don't have

[Dan Bongino]

as many friends as you think you have. I'll leave it at that. Because unlike you goofballs, I try my best to keep information private. However you want to play. Let's play. Here's another one. Here's Mike Flynn, who I defended. And listen, if you watch this show and you're a P1, you're like, man, Dan, no one went to bat for this guy like you did. Yeah, I know. Now all of a sudden, the grift started.

[Guy Benson]

And once they get used to the grift, it changes people.

[Dan Bongino]

It's what changed Joe Kent.

[Guy Benson]

See, what happens with these guys like

[Dan Bongino]

Kent and Flynn and his son and Igor is.

[Guy Benson]

There is a small group. I told you, it's the man, sir. Olson.

[Dan Bongino]

Concentrated interest, diffused cost.

[Guy Benson]

There's a concentrated interest of people who

[Dan Bongino]

really just hate the Jews and everyone else.

[Guy Benson]

And if they find you to be

[Dan Bongino]

a useful idiot like Flynn and everyone

[Guy Benson]

else, they will make you a hero. So these guys want to be feted

[Dan Bongino]

and they Want palm fronds out there.

[Guy Benson]

Oh, we love you. Because they know no one else cares

[Dan Bongino]

about him except the small group of people.

[Guy Benson]

You know, it's crazy, but Bill Maher said it right this weekend. Bill Maher was like, no one knows any of these people. They know Trump their concentrated interest. They love these guys. See, I don't feel the need to be. But all you need to do to be popular is come out tomorrow, tell

[Dan Bongino]

people how much you hate the Jews,

[Guy Benson]

everybody on Twitter, all of a sudden, the bots. You're the best.

[Dan Bongino]

I actually care though about doing the right thing. And that's the wrong thing. Not like these tools. Here's daddy a little while ago. Here again. You want to see the psyop in action? He claims to have some hidden knowledge. Mike Flynn Sr. About the Charlie Kirk crime scene.

[Guy Benson]

He was never had. Knows nothing about the investigation at all. But he's got hidden knowledge, folks. He's got hidden. He just doesn't tell you what it is. It's about 25 seconds or so, but I want you to listen to this.

[Dan Bongino]

And again, who's the fraud and the liar? Check this out.

[Victor Davis Hanson]

I personally, I don't believe that it

[Dan Bongino]

was a lone wolf 22 year old

[Victor Davis Hanson]

tranny who wrote a perfect whatever it

[Dan Bongino]

was text message to his lover or whatever.

[Victor Davis Hanson]

I mean, it was clear that they,

[Dan Bongino]

that they, they dirtied up the crime scene for certain.

[Victor Davis Hanson]

There's no doubt about that.

[Donald Trump]

For certain.

[Dan Bongino]

You know that Mike?

[Guy Benson]

Really?

[Dan Bongino]

You willing to say that under oath and provide any actual evidence? I've gone easy on this guy for a while because I feel bad for him, what he's been through. No one defended him more than me. I've written books about what happened to this guy. And it's a damn shame. But once the Grift virus infects your mind, there's no saving you. And there's no saving him either. I love this show today. Thank you, Dan for calling these people out. E.K. harris, 68. I'm tired of these mother. You want to play? Let's play. We can do a show like this every day. Cuz I've got volumes of influence out there and an army of people who have receipts for days about all your bullshit. Now Flynn and his groups, they host these events and who pops up after betraying President Trump? Wow, look at that Joe Kent does.

[Guy Benson]

So weird right away.

[Dan Bongino]

It's almost like this was an op the whole time.

[Guy Benson]

Really strange, Flynn.

[Dan Bongino]

Igor. Igor pops up in South Florida.

[Guy Benson]

Who's paying these people?

[Dan Bongino]

Igor pops up with Little Man. Little man and ogre.

[Guy Benson]

Keep in mind, guys who never done jack shit.

[Dan Bongino]

Here's Kent again, lying.

[Guy Benson]

Lying to your face again. Lying to your face again. And I'm going to prove it because I was there. Now, whether Kent cares about disclosing classified

[Dan Bongino]

information or not, he's going to have

[Guy Benson]

to deal with the, with the US

[Dan Bongino]

Government on that because it's illegal.

[Guy Benson]

I'm not going to do that. I'm just going to tell you that what Joe Kent's going to tell you

[Dan Bongino]

in this clip about the all 18

[Guy Benson]

intel agencies agreeing that Iran was no nuclear threat is absolute bullshit. He is totally, completely making this up to just jam it right in President Trump's face.

[Dan Bongino]

Why?

[Guy Benson]

Because he wants to make sure their little grift going forward for their select candidate 2028 can run against the Donald Trump record. So he wants it on the record now despite the fact that he knows the record says the opposite. Well, if he knows the record says the opposite about the USIC and the 18 intel agencies, then why would he say that knowing he's going to be proven false? Because people on the concentrated interest, I hate the Jews side, don't care if he's proven false. He's a useful idiot for them, just like Flynn. Listen to Joe Kent lie to your

[Dan Bongino]

face about the Usick saying that Iran was not looking to rebuild their nuclear program. This is just made up. Check this out.

[Intelligence Official]

18 intelligence agencies to agree on anything, it's very challenging. It is a very laborious and sometimes a very intense process of coordination and having people argue their cases. When you have the 18 intelligence agencies saying without a doubt that Iran is not working towards a nuclear weapon and the Defense Intelligence Agency doing battle damage assessment, which is what the DIA really specializes in, is having these military based assessments. That's what I'm going to go with. Being influenced by the IAEA or by another government, Israel in this case, saying like, oh no, even though you conducted Midnight HAMMER and your 18 intelligence agencies say that their nuclear capability is gone, they're still somehow digging, digging out from the rubble and they're going to be able to assemble 10 bombs in two weeks. Again, sorry, I'm going with the, with what the Director of National Intelligence said and she's saying that based on the research and the analysis and the rigorous debate of 18 intelligence agencies,

[Guy Benson]

Joe's a liar. That is factually incorrect. Joe's full of shit. Joe's just making that up. Matter of fact, just before we came on the air, this is a little

[Dan Bongino]

over a minute, this clip, but it's worth your time.

[Guy Benson]

Donald Trump was asked about Joe claims, Joe Kent's ridiculous claims that the Iranians who maintain 440 kg of 60% enriched material, they don't need 60% for anything but one single purpose. What do you think it is? Nuclear medicine? No, it's a nuclear bomb. Kent is lying to your face. You notice how he secretes in there, too? The Israelis, the Jews did it. And that's why the suckers don't care when the record comes out and shows over time conclusively Joe Kent is lying about everything. Charlie. Kirk Butler, Iran. President Trump, the people who hate the Jews don't care because he slipped in there.

[Dan Bongino]

The Israelis did it.

[Guy Benson]

He's full of shit. Here's President Trump completely filleting this guy this morning, telling you how full of shit he is. You believe President Trump, who has access to every piece of intel in the government he wants. He is the lead official on intel, classification of intel. You believe him or you believe Flynn and Flynn's kid and Igor and Ken? It's up to you. Here's Donald Trump.

[Haley Caronia]

Mr. President, do you know whether Joe Kent was leaking?

[Donald Trump]

Look, I'm not a fan of the guy. If you look at. And you never cover this. If you look at his truth or whatever he went on, he was all for everything. All of a sudden, he wasn't. He was a man that I met at Dover. He came and his wife was killed. He remarried fairly quickly. His wife was killed. And I felt badly for him. He ran for Congress. He. He lost. He ran for Congress again and he lost. I said, you know, he's a guy, nice guy. Seemed like a very nice guy. I met him. He was pretty heartbroken.

[Guy Benson]

Pretty.

[Donald Trump]

But I said, you know, it's a shame. He ran for Congress twice. Call him up, give him a job in the White House. Smart. They gave him a job in the White House. And this is what he does to me. You know, being a nice guy doesn't pay off too much.

[Dan Bongino]

Think of it.

[Donald Trump]

He loses twice in Congress, ran not very good campaigns, should have won, but he loses twice. How do I get him? I have my people call him because I didn't deal with him for the most part. I saw him a couple of times, but I never dealt with him at all. I had no idea his ideology was left or right, whatever it is. I can say this. He said very strongly that Iran is not a threat. Iran's been a threat for 47 years, and there's not a country in the world that doesn't agree with me. On that. And what does he do? He goes out and he says that Iran is not a threat. To get publicity. I probably signed up with CNN or maybe signed up with your division of Newsmax.

[Guy Benson]

I don't know, folks, tell me again how this is infighting. This is not infighting. This is a group of infiltrators secreting themselves in our party, again, trying to dismantle a winning coalition so they can take the remnants of it and take the Trump vote without the Trump. This is so obvious. Isn't it clear what they're doing now? I get it. If you hate the Jews and this is your only thing I understand. Like, I'm not. You don't want the truth.

[Dan Bongino]

You just want to kill people and stuff.

[Guy Benson]

We've seen this before.

[Dan Bongino]

I get that.

[Guy Benson]

But to the people who are actually. Who claim to be interested in debate and truth, are you ever going to ask these people, if you know something, please say it. They never tell you anything. And it should tell you something here. By the way, the Washington Post, in this tweet, all of a sudden found their new hero, Joe Kent. Here we go again with the who's ox is gourd effect. The second you turn on Trump, you're a freaking superhero.

[Dan Bongino]

You know what? I'll get to that in a second. I gotta take a quick break.

[Guy Benson]

I'll show you exactly what I mean. Who's really your friend? The Washington Post and Joe Kent or Donald Trump? Only you can answer that question.

[Dan Bongino]

I know who my friend is, and it's not the Washington Post and Joe Kent. An ally. Man, this is a heavy show today. I got a lot more. We're not even close to done. Hey, losing weight's an absolute pain. Listen, I've been there. You look in the mirror, you're getting a little gooey. It sucks. I had really. I have a really bad knee. Left knee. I decided I had to lose some weight. You know, people tell me when they see me in public I look a little too thin.

[Guy Benson]

I don't think so. I don't know.

[Dan Bongino]

I'll have to take that up with Paula. I lost about 30 pounds using Lean. It's a great product. Lean.

[Guy Benson]

Here's the tweet from the Washington Post.

[Dan Bongino]

Again, this is infighting.

[Guy Benson]

I thought the Washington Post was on the outside. Yes, they are on the outside. So if the Washington Post all of

[Dan Bongino]

a sudden is like, well, the counterterrorism, instead of calling them a conspiracy theorist,

[Guy Benson]

which they used to in the past, then all of a sudden you should be asking yourself some questions. Look at the Washington Post tweet.

[Dan Bongino]

Joe Kent, who resigned from the National Counterterrorism center in protest of the Iran war, says he's making his case to fellow conservatives through a series of interviews with podcasters popular among President Trump's political base.

[Guy Benson]

The same podcasters they've been shitting on for the last 10 plus years. Now all of a sudden, they're heroes to them. You see how the grift works? Yeah, you're damn right we're going to call it out.

[Dan Bongino]

You don't have to thank me in the chat.

[Guy Benson]

I appreciate it, but you're part of this, too. You guys got a lot more balls

[Dan Bongino]

than anyone in this fight.

[Guy Benson]

I've got these creators that I follow on on X with 10,000 followers. That's not. We got 7 million. And they're out there every day up against the army of we hate the

[Dan Bongino]

Jews, bots and everyone else fighting a good fight. Folks, this story is way, way deeper. There are people who secreted themselves inside the administration taking advantage of President Trump's benevolence and goodwill, who've done that to sabotage him from the inside because they're trying to break and steal his lineage. Now, Joe Kent saying Iran Wasn't an imminent threat. Ballistic missiles, no big deal. The fact that they had the death to America nuclear weapons capability, that even

[Guy Benson]

though we destroyed their facilities, they still had their nuclear material. He's saying, oh, they were no imminent threat. Don't you find it weird now the Washington Post has created a hero out of him in the podcast space that turned anti. Trump's created a hero out of him.

[Dan Bongino]

And now check this out.

[Guy Benson]

He's got another friend in John Brennan. Yes, John Brennan. I don't understand how John Brennan, the deep stater John Brennan, who, if you read open source information, seems to be in a little bit of trouble himself. This is your ally in the movement now, you both have the exact same approach to Iran not being an imminent threat. Don't you see what's going on here? You doubt me? Here's John Brennan with the exact same

[Dan Bongino]

talking points as Joe Kent. Check this out.

[John Brennan]

This means that it's in the near term, it's on the horizon, it's coming sooner rather than later. But there's no intelligence that I've seen coming out in any type of reporting that suggests that either from a ballistic missile standpoint or from a nuclear standpoint, or even from a terrorist standpoint that there was anything imminent that the United States really needed to go forward with this invasion of Iranian airspace and the bombing campaign. And so therefore I think the lies are coming fast and furiously as a way to justify the rationale for the war. And there really is no rationale for it.

[Guy Benson]

Joe Kent and John Brennan all of a sudden are spouting the exact same talking points. It's almost like they all got the bat signal.

[Dan Bongino]

Now is the time to take down maga.

[Guy Benson]

It's almost like they all got the sign at the same time. You see, they all have the same interest. I'm not telling you Brennan and Kent collaborate. I'm telling you they don't need to. The left sees an opportunity here to fracture this coalition from the inside. And the Washington Post is now going to make these guys out to be heroes while John Brennan goes out and goes, hey, I may have misjudged this guy and the left wing media. The ballistic missiles weren't an imminent threat. You realize they lied about now, just to be clear, because receipts matter.

[Dan Bongino]

Correct.

[Guy Benson]

So we have US Military assets throughout

[Dan Bongino]

the region in the Middle East. Why? Because it's a global economy, folks, and we really don't have a choice. Don't tell me about like interventionism.

[Guy Benson]

I ran against this stuff and put

[Dan Bongino]

my name on a ballot.

[Guy Benson]

So don't give me your bullshit like,

[Dan Bongino]

oh, guys, a neocon.

[Guy Benson]

You can shut the fuck.

[Dan Bongino]

You don't know what the you're talking about. You're just some clown bot on Twitter. However, there is zero doubt that.

[Guy Benson]

That our military footprint has to be global. We have global interests.

[Dan Bongino]

You want the economy to shut down? The global economy, Your kids not to have antibiotics or fuel or natural gas. We have a global economy. Unfortunately, it has to be secured by military assets around the world.

[Guy Benson]

We have military assets in the region. The Iranians have constantly said, hey, listen, we only have ballistic missiles that stay

[Dan Bongino]

in the local area, 2,000 kilometers or less.

[Guy Benson]

Basically, the Iranians are saying, because we

[Dan Bongino]

just want to kill the Jews with these missiles, right? And now it turns out that those

[Guy Benson]

Iranian missiles that they lied about can actually go a lot further because they lied. You think President Trump didn't know that? Did Joe Kendall know that? Here's the Iranian regime lying about their

[Dan Bongino]

missile capacity because they know we have

[Guy Benson]

US assets just outside that 2000km. They said this very specifically here. Receipts yourself, Joe.

[Dan Bongino]

Ken, watch this.

[Guy Benson]

Check this out.

[Dan Bongino]

The range of our missiles below 2000km. So we don't have that capability, and we don't want to do that because we don't have any hostility against, you

know, the United States people and,

you know, or Europeans or whatsoever.

[Guy Benson]

Okay? So Joe Kent and John Brennan agree that the Iranian missiles are just basically

[Dan Bongino]

for the Israelis and others. 2000 kilometers. Really?

[Guy Benson]

Here's Donald Trump, the President, United States,

[Dan Bongino]

who has access to way more intelligence

[Guy Benson]

than Joe Kent during the State of the Union. Now, you just have to ask yourself in the audience, do you believe Joe Kent or do you believe Donald Trump? Do you believe Igor or do you believe Donald Trump? What do you believe? Here's Donald Trump telling you in the State of the Union that, hey, there's a threat there. I may not be able to go into deep detail, but he's already said it. Joe Kemp must have missed this.

[Dan Bongino]

Check this out.

[Donald Trump]

Already developed missiles that can threaten Europe

[Dan Bongino]

and our bases overseas.

[Donald Trump]

And they're working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America. After Midnight Hammer, they were warned to make no future attempts to rebuild their weapons program, and in particular, nuclear weapons.

[Dan Bongino]

Yet they continue starting it all over.

[Donald Trump]

We wiped it out, and they want

[Guy Benson]

to start all over again and are

[Dan Bongino]

at this moment, again pursuing their sinister ambitions.

[Guy Benson]

I thought Joe Kent said the missiles weren't a threat. He's telling you they're working towards building a ballistic missile that can reach here while they have nuclear fuel. Capable of a nuclear weapon. They're not in it for nuclear medicine. You were the NCTC head. You didn't know this? Or are you lying?

[Dan Bongino]

You're lying because I know you know this. You're just lying because you got the Flynn bug.

[Guy Benson]

The grift, the grift feels good. You're small group of people, you know,

[Dan Bongino]

our people, the MAGA crowd are busy winning elections.

[Guy Benson]

We're not gonna show up at an

[Dan Bongino]

event for you guys outside in the lobby. Real everyday average Americans who just care about the country calling you and all kinds of stuff like that.

[Guy Benson]

But you have a small group of lunatics who will do that for you and you like it. You like being feted by them. Cuz that's all that matters to you. Because you have no balls.

[Dan Bongino]

You don't have any guts.

[Guy Benson]

You may have had him at one

[Dan Bongino]

time, but you don't have them now.

[Guy Benson]

Here's a tweet by Piers Morgan who hates Donald Trump.

[Dan Bongino]

At this point I wouldn't say he

[Guy Benson]

hates Donald Trump, but definitely hates the Saran Moore. Here's even Piers Morgan just to show you, giving you this wide spectrum of people. So you don't think I'm isolating out the real MAGA folks. Here's Piers Morgan. Like hey man, maybe Donald Trump was right. So not only has Iran brazenly lied

[Dan Bongino]

about its ballistic missile range capacity, but

[Guy Benson]

this means it can probably hit the UK with them.

[Dan Bongino]

And we have zero, I repeat, zero all caps defense against these missiles. Very worrying.

[Guy Benson]

Joe Kent said none of this stuff was imminent. Next he's going to tell you they weren't trying to attack the United States.

[Dan Bongino]

What's he going to tell you next? There was no lethal plotting. I don't understand like what's next,

[Guy Benson]

Folks. It's amazing how you bring receipts again and you've got this pocket of people so filled with hatred they don't want the truth, man, you feed them the truth. It's like the dog who doesn't like the kibble and kicks the bowl. I'm not interested in the truth.

[Dan Bongino]

I just like bullshit.

[Guy Benson]

That's why so many people hate us being back on the air with a million people watching the show.

[Dan Bongino]

The views on the show, you go

[Guy Benson]

check that out too. They hated because they don't want the truth out there. Here's a Fox News report on the same missiles Joe Kent apparently is unaware

[Dan Bongino]

of in the development program.

[Guy Benson]

Kent doesn't know this, but Donald Trump's lying, I'm lying, Cash is lying, Ratcliffe's, Everybody's lying.

[Dan Bongino]

But you weird. Check this out.

[Victor Davis Hanson]

Diego Garcia, a long way from the stated ranges of Iran's missiles. Remember, it was just a few years ago. The late ayatollah said they don't have any missiles that go this far. So officials say it's very clear he was lying as well as other Iranian officials. Diego Garcia, 4,000 kilometers away for Charlie. Let's put this in miles, about 2,500 miles. And previously Iran, Iran said their missiles only go 2000 kilometers or about 1300 miles. So clearly this demonstrates that three weeks into this war, Iran still has some ability to launch some ballistic missiles and apparently some ballistic missiles that nobody knew they had. Perhaps the CIA and Mossad as well. But President Trump says he thinks this war is starting to wind down after more than 15,000 missions between the United States and Israeli air forces.

[Guy Benson]

You know, can you put up the

[Dan Bongino]

Trump true social tweet about the negotiations? I was going to put it last

[Guy Benson]

in the show, but again, these folks out there now pretending this is now

[Dan Bongino]

all of a sudden, you know, they're Donald Trump's lying.

[Guy Benson]

Here's Donald Trump. He said this morning he's pleased to

[Dan Bongino]

Amer, pleased to announce to America that basically got negotiations going on with Iran. Of course the Iranians are denying this. The Iranians are denying it because I don't think the Iranians know he's in charge. Maybe, maybe I'll get to this a little more detail.

[Guy Benson]

But you're we don't do forever wars. Appears to be already closing the forever window that only lasted less than a month. I thought it was a forever war. And you're still pissed off. So what are you against now? What are you against now? The answer is you're against Trump. You know, you're against Trump. You just don't want to say it because you want the Trump vote without the Trump. So you claim as hidden set of knowledge that when you and your people get elected the then you're going to

[Dan Bongino]

tell us what it is. You're going to tell us who killed Charlie. You tell us all the hidden knowledge you have about the Epstein case and other stuff.

[Guy Benson]

All the hidden knowledge you have it. You're going to tell us all this

[Dan Bongino]

stuff later on your hidden knowledge about Butler that you have. No one else has it but you. Of course the president's not interested. He's only shot in the head. It's a bunch of hidden knowledge on that too. And he doesn't want it out there because why.

[Guy Benson]

But you know, see, here's the difference. We just spent a good 40 something minutes on the show producing receipts, actual videos, commentary, Donald Trump's own words, facts. There was a missile strike or a

[Dan Bongino]

missile launched at Diego Garcia outside of

[Guy Benson]

the Iranians own stated perimeter of their missile capabilities. That's a fact. If you don't know that, you just really stupid telling people it wasn't a threat.

[Dan Bongino]

The Iranians have been honest about their ballistic missile program.

[Guy Benson]

I just proved to you they're full of shit. That's a data point. What these other jokers, Igor and his crew of losers, little guy, ogre, Joe Kent and others do is they just throw out information and never actually put

[Dan Bongino]

an equal sign in the middle. 2, 2, 2, 10. It's a data point. It's a data point that's actually not two plus two plus two is six. Then they're like whoa, whoa, whoa. He's going to get to the other two twos late, I'm sure of it.

[Guy Benson]

No he's not because he doesn't have it. I want to show you what an

[Dan Bongino]

actual data point looks like when you

[Guy Benson]

actually produce information because you're a smart

[Dan Bongino]

person and you're not a grifter. Loser. Here's Victor Davis Hansen, very smart guy and I wish him well. I know he's been through some health issues, so God bless you. A genius guy who's been around this movement a long time. I interviewed him on my weekend show on WMAL like 10 years ago.

[Guy Benson]

Here's Victor Davis Hansen talking about what's

[Dan Bongino]

going on over there.

[Guy Benson]

And I want him, I want you to see the difference between him and Joe Ken.

[Dan Bongino]

Joe Ken, I got some things I know, but I can't tell you the specifics. It wasn't a threat.

[Guy Benson]

How do you know that?

[Dan Bongino]

I can't say.

[Guy Benson]

Here's vdh. It wasn't even in the government using actual data points to show you that. Hey, this looks like it's actually going

[Dan Bongino]

quite well and may wrap up sometime pretty soon. Check this out.

There's enough evidence to see how things are really going. It's with. Europeans would never agree to go anywhere near Iran unless they thought the tide was turning and they wanted. They think that we're going to win, otherwise they would keep still. And the reason that the petro nations of the Gulf survive is they have their finger in the wind and they're very attuned to the climate. And when you have Al Jazeera praising the United States bombing campaign and saying that it's been underestimated and it's brilliant and effective, you get the feeling that they think not only should the United States finish the job, but it can and will finish the job. And then when you start to see tactical aircraft like Warthogs and Apaches, that means that they're offering almost ground and sea support to hit targets. There's nothing. There's no defense at all when you have that type of aircraft flying at will in Iranian airspace. So you put it all together, and I think it's pretty clear that this rope, a dope strategy that they have that we're going to tire before they are, is dependent on just public opinion. The midterms in the United States, and if Trump sees it through, and I think he will, I think they're going to fall pretty soon.

[Guy Benson]

VDH has actual information. He doesn't show correlation there. He's showing causal activities.

[Dan Bongino]

We attack Iran, take out the mullah leadership. The UAE all of a sudden is looking at financial sanctions. The UAE has been used by Iran to launder money and proceeds for a long time.

[Guy Benson]

Joe. This is called data. A ballistic missile where the Iranian propagandist told us couldn't fly more than 2000km magically did this weekend. How do we know? Because it happened. So they were lying? Yes. But I thought you said they weren't a threat. That's called data. That's called reason. That's called logic. Use it sometimes. I know the grift is strong with you guys. I get it. I understand. I know the grift is strong. And the desire to be loved by this small pocket of lunatics at your little dopey events, I understand it's powerful, the allure. But you know what's more powerful? The truth and doing the right thing.

[Dan Bongino]

I told you, man, it's not some

[Guy Benson]

kind of dopey flex. It's just a fact. We've been in this business a long, long time.

[Dan Bongino]

I've seen this stuff come and go. And when your lodestar is chaos and dishonesty, it does not last.

[Guy Benson]

It doesn't last. It's the Morton Downey Jr. Effect. I can't say enough. That guy had the talk show. For those of you my age, remember, it was. He had higher ratings than Oprah Winfrey. Some of you out there, like, who the hell's Morton Downey Jr. That's the point. The guy did some hoax in an airport. We said he got attacked by a bunch of white supremacists, and that was the last you ever heard of the dude. Because people don't want to be lied to over and over. Everything. These people are Telling you is bullshit.

[Dan Bongino]

Little Igor.

[Guy Benson]

I can't believe they're putting meme pictures of. They're so nasty. I just wanted to a pleasant discourse with it.

[Dan Bongino]

Really, really, really.

[Guy Benson]

By showing up at a mag event

[Dan Bongino]

screaming like lunatics, nearly getting trespassed off the property, calling people faggots and stuff. That's. They recorded it. They were proud of it. I love how they're all so tough, too. They're all so tough. The three of them show up. I'm there with my wife and my friends at an event, volunteered to speak to raise money for Republican party candidates trying to get Republicans elected. You get three goofballs show up screaming like lunatics, nearly crying like little girls at the end when they get tossed out and they're all such badass.

[Guy Benson]

You know why they know they're not

[Dan Bongino]

going to do anything?

[Guy Benson]

Because they know what happens the minute I respond. What do they do? They get a bunch of liberal lawyers to sue me. Then they all.

[Dan Bongino]

You guys are magically so tough.

[Guy Benson]

And then you get the camera turned on them. I can't believe you guys took pictures of us. Well, maybe you don't show up with

[Dan Bongino]

stormtrooper outfits on and sombreros and stuff. Some of you. Oh, that's an instant classic, folks. The media is working with these people here to tell you a story and not this story about Iran. There was this clip on cnn. This Lydia Moynihan who I met once or twice at Fox. I think she was on my show. She does a pretty good job. She's been doing some commentary on cnn. She's kind of been filling in a little bit when Scott Jennings isn't around.

[Guy Benson]

She was on CNN and she brought

[Dan Bongino]

this up the other day, how the

[Guy Benson]

media and these black pillar doomers are so eager for us to lose this war in Iran, however short or long it goes, they are so eager for us to lose that they will share the same talking points. Even the doomers.

[Dan Bongino]

Oh my gosh.

[Guy Benson]

Gas and oil prices. Gas and oil prices. They were holding the freaking straight hostage for the last 47 years. Scott Besson said it right. Yeah, there may be a temporary rise in prices, but we could get 50

[Dan Bongino]

years of sanity in the strait out of this.

[Guy Benson]

Here's Lydia Moynihan saying, you know, you guys are really funny. You know, when prices went up during the Ukraine, Russia war in the beginning under Biden, you guys had every excuse in the book why it wasn't Biden's fault. But now all of a sudden, Donald Trump was trying to secure a long

[Dan Bongino]

Term level, set price of gasoline so

[Guy Benson]

they can't hold the street hostage.

[Dan Bongino]

Now all of a sudden you're fake pissed off.

[Guy Benson]

This is a great point.

[Dan Bongino]

Check this out.

[Haley Caronia]

I just want to point out that there is a vast trove of reporting over the last few years saying that the president shouldn't be responsible for gas prices. When Biden was in office, CNN reported Americans blamed Biden for record prices at the pump. Biden had relatively little control over the prices set primarily by global markets. In 2025, CNN reported gasoline prices are coming down and President Trump is happy to take credit for that. So I would just know every other time period. Everyone the media tries can't just like. That's not the question that Lydia asked. Lydia asked who's responsible for the gas price per gallon. When Russia invaded Ukraine, it was all price. Iran closed the Strait of homophobic. We knew they were going to do that. So. But I'm saying we decided Ukraine. Everyone was happy to blame guys, why can't we blame Ron? Hold on, guys.

[Guy Benson]

Do you ever notice with this Abby Phillips too, whenever Scott Jennings or Lydia

[Dan Bongino]

making a point, she always has to intercept and become the referee for the left because they know they're being made fools of.

[Guy Benson]

You just got done telling us during the Russia Ukraine war that's still ongoing, that Biden, who was the president before Donald Trump, for all the morons who missed it, was not responsible for gas prices.

[Dan Bongino]

And it's this global hostilities thing.

[Guy Benson]

Meanwhile, Donald Trump's trying to secure gas so you can fill up your freaking car and heat your house for the next 50 years and you're bitching about it. The answer is, it's not that you're bitching about it because you care. You're bitching about it because you hate Donald Trump just like Igor and his goofballs. You can't stand him and you know it. And don't tell me Donald Trump didn't have a plan. I'm going to show you what I mean.

[Dan Bongino]

Coming up in a second.

[Guy Benson]

There is a plan. There's always been a plan. But these plans, just like you have a plan for a football game.

[Dan Bongino]

Variables kick in.

[Guy Benson]

A guy fumbles the football, you didn't prepare for that. Doesn't mean you don't have a plan. You go from plan A to plan B. If he fumbles, we'll do this. Not even telling you they fumbled the football. I'm just telling you things happen.

[Dan Bongino]

Quick break and I'll show you what I mean. Watering around the house shouldn't feel like a Battle the. But those old fashioned hoses, you know you gotta like. You wind up doing like a weightlifting workout to get these hoses out. Those old fashioned hoses with kinks and creases at the spigot, they make it one. So I love the brand new pocket hose Copperhead featuring the pocket Pivot. I use these around my house. Really easy, easy to use. The clever pivot swivels a full 360 degrees so you get smooth, consistent water flow and total freedom to move anywhere in your yard. And when you're done, this rust proof anti burst hose actually shrinks back to a pocket size. It does, it's like fits right in a little just about like that. Plus it's ultra durable and still super lightweight. It even comes back by a 10 year warranty which says a lot. The brand new pocket hose Copperhead with pocket pivot is a total game changer. Really super easy to use, easy to store. I saw it on tv, I picked one up, they became actually a sponsor later which is interesting. I love to use the products. The hose looks really cool using it myself. Even better. For a limited time, my listeners can get a free Pocket Pivot and their 10 pattern sprayer with the purchase of any size Copperhead hose. Just text Bongino B O n G I n o to 60 to 64,000. Text BONGINO to 64,000. That's BONGINO to 64,000 for your two free gifts with purchase. Text Bongino B o n G I n o to 64,000. Message and data rates may apply. See terms for the details. Thanks Pocket. It was a really cool product. Appreciate you joining the show today. Put up that true social post. The other one I had from Donald Trump. Folks, there was always a plan. I told you what the plan was. In the region, the global oil market is very susceptible to ups and downs. You've got Brent crude, you've got western Texas crude. We have the ability to produce a lot of our own oil and natural gas. When you combine that with the Canadians and you know we're going to have to do some work there as well. We have the ability to basically insulate ourself not from spikes, but from really incredibly dramatic spikes like we saw when my mother and father were younger and we had the gas crisis in and around that Carter era.

[Guy Benson]

Donald Trump understands that the world is more susceptible. So if you guys don't want to

[Dan Bongino]

help us, he put this up without

[Guy Benson]

the U.S. nATO was a paper tiger. He's basically telling NATO, hey boys, gals, you want to get in this fight or what? These people have been threatening you. Piers Morgan himself was not even a huge fan of Trump's policies. Like, hey, these missiles can hit the uk. They can hit US Bases, joint bases

[Dan Bongino]

in the area, Diego Garcia.

[Guy Benson]

And they're working to try to hit the United States. You guys want to get in this fight or what? You're the ones who are more susceptible to global fluctuations in the oil market than we are. Freaking unbelievable, man. This is. You've got this collective effort, I'm telling you, by the doomers, the media and the left to fracture this unbelievable, you know, unbelievably beautiful thing we've created, this Make America Great Again movement. See the grift and scrap it. Cut it out of your life.

[Dan Bongino]

That block button is your best friend. You've not earned the right.

[Guy Benson]

It's not a free speech thing. Losers. Invested all my money in platforms where you can go out and bash the hell out of me all you want.

[Dan Bongino]

You don't get to come on my timeline. Those are my people.

[Guy Benson]

Use the button wisely. It's all bots and bullshit. You can see it. They all put the same thing out there. Folks.

[Dan Bongino]

We have to walk and juggle chainsaws at the same time. Let's walk and chew gum.

[Donald Trump]

No, no.

[Dan Bongino]

Walk and chew gum.

[Guy Benson]

We have to walk and juggle chainsaws

[Dan Bongino]

at the same time.

[Guy Benson]

We don't have a choice.

[Dan Bongino]

The walk is the fight we've always had against the collectivist left trying to take away our freedoms. That has always been our fight. This new fight is this infection that comes up in this party every 10 years or so, where a group of losers infiltrate and try to take us down. We've got to operate in both fronts at the same time.

[Guy Benson]

We don't have a choice.

[Dan Bongino]

It is not a fight I asked for. I didn't ask for a couple of losers to show up in sombreros at an event this weekend. I didn't ask for that.

[Guy Benson]

They did.

[Dan Bongino]

And now you're getting it. Because we got to fight against what I know to be the real enemy here, and that's the collectivist left, folks.

[Guy Benson]

You got a party out there. A story is emerging.

[Dan Bongino]

Is it? I just saw it come out this week. This poor woman in Chicago. Loyola student killed. The main suspect is a Venezuelan illegal immigrant.

[Guy Benson]

You got another.

[Dan Bongino]

Basically, another Lake and Riley story brewing.

[Guy Benson]

The Democrats have the government shut down

[Dan Bongino]

right now, basically to protect these illegals.

[Guy Benson]

That's all this is about. That's all this is about. They don't even care you had a plane incident, an Airport in LaGuardia this morning. Two people died. You would think the Democrats, if there was an honest media, would be running in front of the cameras, eager to

[Dan Bongino]

say, all right, enough is enough.

[Guy Benson]

Open up the airports. This is bullshit. We've gone too far. They don't care. They don't give a shit at all. The Atlanta Airport just put this out. If you've ever been to Atlanta, the

[Dan Bongino]

airport is enormous due to staffing constraints

[Guy Benson]

at tsa, they're encouraging passengers to arrive four hours early. Four hours. The Democrats are doing this to you. Don't you understand? The only votes being withheld to open up the government when it comes to TSA and DHS and basically airport security funding right now are by Democrats who are holding their votes back. It's not the Republicans. Again. I'm not telling you the Republicans are the solution to all your problems. I'm telling you the cause of your problems now are Democrats. That's a fact. Now, I agree with the argument of many out there that this is an

[Dan Bongino]

argument that airport security should be privatized.

[Guy Benson]

Again, I totally agree 100%. The problem is I deal in the real world, and the real world is the now. Tomorrow hasn't happened yet, and the past is already gone. It's not an Eckhart Tolle book. It's just a fact. You live in the now. And in the now, we're stuck with the government running security at airports. And ironically, the Democrats, who tell you how great a solution big government is in your life and everywhere, from airport security to social welfare programs, have now shut down the one thing that keeps you safe on a plane that they told you was the solution.

[Dan Bongino]

Folks, there's a real enemy out there. And I. Believe me when I tell you it gives me absolutely no pleasure in having to walk and juggle these chainsaws at the same time. But I've been through this before. This is not the first time. You got. Doesn't it make sense to you? You got people out there who've been through these fights, Levin, Dana, Lash and others and Ben, who are warning you, this goes nowhere. You want to destroy the right like the left destroyed the left with men's penises in the bathroom? Defund the police, where they got obliterated in elections. We have the House, the Senate and the White House. Then continue down this path. It's the Dambongino cannibalism theory. When grifters and bums,

[Guy Benson]

when they have

[Dan Bongino]

the opposite party in office, the grifters

[Guy Benson]

kind of their Voices.

[Dan Bongino]

Everybody's aligned in the same direction. Go get Joe Biden. But the minute we win, if the we is not their specific guy, they don't care about the country or the party. They just care about their guy because there's money in it. They immediately go on attack. The left does this and cannibalize their own movement because there's money in it. You want to get back to the defund the police left. You really think this is where we need to be? You're willing to forfeit a midterm election, have Donald Trump impeached to put AOC

[Guy Benson]

and her team back in charge? You know how crazy that is?

[Dan Bongino]

I want to show you this video. You know, when you talk about how my principle stayed the same. Support our police officers. Yes, oversight is healthy and good. Support our military. They're the best of the best. They do something wrong, got to call it out. We'll do an investigation. However, I support these guys. I saw this video making its way around this week, and this is what

[Guy Benson]

these guys got to deal with.

[Dan Bongino]

Here's a couple of police officers down in Florida and they get into it with this guy.

[Guy Benson]

Imagine this is your workday. You're not going to work, you know, sitting in front of a computer typing out a spreadsheet about what oil futures look like. This is your work day.

[Dan Bongino]

Having to respond to this, basically five days a week, if not more. Check this out. Stay down. Bad fighting with one. I want you to hear that. That's why I'm not. Give me the other hand.

[Guy Benson]

Okay, Two in custody.

[Dan Bongino]

That's at the source. Media hat tip.

[Guy Benson]

This is what these guys got to

[Dan Bongino]

deal with every day. So just to be clear, you want to make sure Donald Trump gets impeached. We lose the midterms. So the defund, the police, men in the women's room, wealth tax, Obamacare, non school choice. Left goes and wins elections because that's going to make your life better. You don't want the guy in there in office. Donald Trump, who sealed the border almost overnight, produced the safest America you've ever seen in its entire history based on actual data points.

[Guy Benson]

The guy who made sure your taxes

[Dan Bongino]

didn't go up through the big beautiful bill.

[Guy Benson]

The guy who's finally got an arm

[Dan Bongino]

around when Biden's what?

[Guy Benson]

Peak 9% inflation.

[Dan Bongino]

Where it's not great, but down from where Biden.

[Guy Benson]

Where Biden was the guy who removed Maduro from power.

[Dan Bongino]

An enemy of the United States in our hemisphere.

[Guy Benson]

A guy who destroyed the Iranian mullah

[Dan Bongino]

class after they've been holding us hostage for 50 years.

[Guy Benson]

You want him out of there in exchange for the defund the police AOC bankruptcy. Let's not make the US the world's reserve currency left to make sure interest

[Dan Bongino]

rates are through the roof and the economy collapses.

[Guy Benson]

That's the people you want in charge. Are you freaking insane?

[Dan Bongino]

Folks, it was a lot of show today, and I really hope you take this all in and take this very seriously. You know, it's. It's one thing to have principled objections and I respect that. It's a whole other thing to be an unprincipled piece of and to take the trust someone put in you, whether it's me and Flynn or the president, Joe Kent, and then turn around and turn on everyone because the grift is strong. Good people don't do that. Good people don't do that. I'm sad that happened to you. I'm sad you got overtaken. You let the evil in. All right, folks, I'm gonna bug out today, but that was a lot and I hope you take it all in and spread the word. Cut this cancer out of your life or it's going to infect you.
